I'm trying to do the following: listen on some port for loopback connections only, and then start listening on any IP address. Here is the code:

TcpListener l1 = new TcpListener(new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Loopback, 12345));
l1.Start();
Socket s = l1.AcceptSocket();
Console.ReadKey();
//s.Close();
l1.Stop();
TcpListener l2 = new TcpListener(new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Any, 12345));
l2.Start();
l2.AcceptSocket();
Console.ReadKey();

The problem is that if a client connects while listening on the Loopback address (l1), then no other client can connect to the Loopback address when the second listener (l2) starts listening. why is that?

Another thing I noticed is that if I close all clients that connected to l1 (the remarked line), then l2 does accept loopback connections.

Any ideas?
